Leenzee has just released the first Title Update for WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, which is around 900MB in size on PC. So, is this the patch that will boost and fix the game’s performance? Let’s find out.
This first patch for WUCHANG offers the soundtrack to everyone who has purchased it. Moreover, it packs a fix for a bug that allowed players who did not preorder or buy the deluxe version to get their bonus items.
For those wondering, this update doesn’t improve the game’s performance. On my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, WUCHANG didn’t run any faster. If the game seems better on your PC, you should check your graphics settings. For some reason, the update changed mine. So, chances are it may have changed yours, too.
Also, Frame Generation is still broken. The same problem I talked about in my PC Performance Analysis is still there. So, it’s better not to use it, because it can make the game stutter even more. And yes, the game still has those annoying stutters when moving around. Nothing has been fixed.
In short, this isn’t the performance patch most of you have been waiting for. And, to be honest, I don’t expect to see a major one for it. As Leenzee stated, it’s quite happy with the game’s performance. This is coming straight from the devs. So, don’t expect any miracles.
Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Apart from the fixes I mentioned above, I don’t know what else this patch resolves. The devs haven’t shared its changelog. Once they do, I’ll be sure to update the story with it.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
Leenzee has shared the changelog for Patch 1.3. Below, you can find all of its tweaks, fixes, and changes.
WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Patch 1.3 Release Notes
Performance Related Optimizations
Low Latency Mode is now a manual toggle in the Options menu. It will no longer be enabled by default.
Supersampling resolution limits have been adjusted on select GPU models to prevent unintended performance degradation.
VRAM optimization for lower-end GPUs:
For GPUs with 8GB or less VRAM, memory-saving optimization is now applied across all texture quality levels.
For GPUs with more than 8GB VRAM, this optimization applies only when texture quality is set to Low.
These changes improve stability and reduce crashes or stuttering caused by insufficient video memory.
Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements
Fixed a crash that could occur immediately after the company logo during game startup.
Resolved execution stutter affecting select hardware configurations during finisher animations.
Fixed issues related to both the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition – after the patch update, players of both versions will receive the correct content rewards. Players who have already purchased the Deluxe Edition package will need to log in again and claim the reward at the donation box located in Reverent Temple.
All WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers owners will receive the Original Soundtrack DLC for free as compensation.
Gameplay Balance Adjustments
Chapter 2 – Landmine Encounter Rebalancing:
Reduced the number of landmines and adjusted their damage output to create a more fair and enjoyable challenge.
